fbckeller > The Faith Community Church family gave the FBCK team a warm welcome. They were extremely grateful for the help with their rebuilding!

fbckeller > When the group arrived, the Faith Community Church building had no walls downstairs. Everything there was washed away by the storm surge, which went almost up to the ceiling on the ground floor.

fbckeller > The team's first job was framing with specially-treated studs.

fbckeller > After just a few minutes, each team member picked a partner and got to work. Most of the team members had never met each other before this trip, so this was a great demonstration of the body of Christ working together!

fbckeller > Bryan York (kneeling) brought some of his power tools that were very useful during the project. Joe Rigsby (yellow shirt), the administrator at Faith Community Church, looks on.
